Evelyn is very attentive to her clients; she is a thoughtful listener who offers perceptive responses in every session. She is empathetic, supportive, and wise. She has helped me navigate the last months of processing a most traumatic year at my work site, offering sound advice, helpful resources (videos, worksheets, articles), and "homework" upon my request.

Evelyn is compassionate, caring, and truly listens to what I say and talk about during our session. I have made great progress and I am thankful I found such an incredible therapist after bad experiences in the past.

In the past two weeks Evelyn has been very attentive to my well being and in my very first session I learned things about myself I never realized. She’s very kind and patient.
